These were the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, and together they came to $20.37 million. Wayzata accounted for two of them, with the others in Prior Lake, Edina and Stillwater, and three of the five were in Hennepin County.
The group ran from a 1992 home on Lake Minnetonka to two newly built properties, one of them a condominium near downtown Wayzata. Four of the five were single-family homes, and in two of the sales the same agent was on both sides.
No. 1 — $6,500,000 · 2740 Gale Rd, Wayzata, Minnesota
It is known as The Cozy Nook. The home at 2740 Gale Road in Wayzata sits on 1.32 acres in the Woodland neighborhood, with 173 feet of shoreline on Lake Minnetonka facing west, so the lake views take in the evening sun. The property last sold for $750,000 in 1990, before the current home was built.
The architecture takes its cue from the Cape Cod style. Inside, the ceilings are vaulted and crossed by exposed beams, with whitewashed details, stained glass and broad walls of windows. On the main floor, the living room opens to an informal dining area, the kitchen and a three-season porch, all turned toward the lake. The kitchen has handmade Mexican tile and a large center island. There is also an office with a view of the water, a studio, and a primary suite with raised views of the lake.
The home has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, three fireplaces and 6,002 square feet of living space. Its walkout lower level adds a second full kitchen, another office, a bunk room and generous space for guests or extended family. Outside are decks, a patio under a pergola, a wide lawn and a private dock, along with a four-car garage and a storage shed.
The home went under contract two days after it was listed and sold for $6,500,000, the highest price of the week. Geoffrey D Bray of Engel & Volkers Minneapolis was the listing agent with Lindsay Bacigalupo, who also represented the buyer for Engel & Volkers Minneapolis, putting the same agent on both sides of the sale.

No. 2 — $4,000,000 · 8079 Cress View Ln, Prior Lake, Minnesota
The largest property in this week’s group covers 9.40 wooded acres at 8079 Cress View Lane in Prior Lake. It is a double lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, and it backs up to the Credit River and Legends Golf Course. Ron Brenner Architects designed the home, Hendel Homes built it, and it was once shown as an Artisan Home.
The main level has an open plan under custom-beamed ceilings. Alongside the main kitchen is a fully equipped prep kitchen, and a hearth room opens to a heated screened porch fitted with phantom screens. The primary suite occupies a wing of its own. Downstairs, the walkout lower level has a media and bar area with a copper-topped bar and two wine and beverage refrigerators, plus a fitness studio with a custom cedar sauna.
Built in 2016, the home has four bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 7,836 square feet. Outdoors there are a heated in-ground pool, an outdoor kitchen, a firepit and landscaped grounds. The garage count is the most of any home in this Top 5: 13 spaces in all, five of them in a heated detached outbuilding.
The home sold for $4,000,000. Lee and Julie Bernick of RE/MAX Advantage Plus were the listing agents, and Chris P Rooney of RE/MAX Preferred represented the buyer.

No. 3 — $3,631,625 · 3601 W 55th St, Edina, Minnesota
On Minnehaha Creek in Edina’s Creek Knoll neighborhood, 3601 West 55th Street is the newest home in this week’s Top 5, completed in 2026 on a lot of 0.37 acres. The yard slopes gently, and the views look south over the creek to the woods on the far bank. The listing says several building plans were developed for the site by Sustainable 9 Design+Build and Unfold Architecture.
The two-story home has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and 3,991 square feet, with a finished walkout lower level. There are fireplaces in the family room and the living room, a composite deck, a screened porch and a heated two-car garage. The property last sold for $985,000 in 2024, before the current home was built.
The home sold for $3,631,625. Chad M. Hanson of Harker + Woods and Ryan Hanson were the listing agents, and Anne M Shaeffer of Lakes Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer.

No. 4 — $3,291,699 · 150 Broadway Ave S #3D, Wayzata, Minnesota
Unit 3D at 150 Broadway Avenue South is in a new boutique condominium building from DENALI Custom Homes in Wayzata, a block from the shore of Lake Minnetonka and within walking distance of downtown. The building has just four residences, each taking up half a floor, and buyers were invited to tailor their homes to their own plans.
Built in 2025, the residence has two bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2,350 square feet on one level, with a gas fireplace, a deck and a terrace. The building has a lobby entrance, security and an elevator, and the unit comes with two assigned spaces in a heated underground garage.
The condominium sold above its asking price of $3.195 million, closing at $3,291,699. Jodie Bieker of Coldwell Banker Realty was the listing agent and also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.

No. 5 — $2,950,000 · 13350 24th St N, Stillwater, Minnesota
Among rolling hills and tall pines in Stillwater’s Artisan neighborhood, 13350 24th Street North sits on 5.47 acres above a pond, surrounded by heavy tree cover. Derrick Custom Homes built the home in 2013. The property last sold for $405,000 in 2012, before the current home was built.
With 10,360 square feet, six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, it is the largest home in this week’s group and has the most bedrooms and bathrooms. The great room is centered on a stone fireplace, one of six in the home, and the formal rooms are finished with custom millwork and walls of glass that open the interior to the landscape. The kitchen connects to a butler’s pantry, and there is a separate office.
The owner’s suite includes a sitting room with a fireplace, custom dressing areas and a spa-style bath, and every other bedroom is set up as its own suite. The walkout lower level is given over to recreation, with a bar, gathering spaces and guest quarters. Outside are terraces, a vaulted three-season porch with a fireplace, a heated pool, a gazebo and a fire pit, with views of the water through mature trees.
The home went under contract 13 days after it was listed and sold for $2,950,000. Wade B Hanson of Lakes Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing agent, and Ryan Ecklund of Pemberton RE represented the buyer.
